Hall of Famer Julius Peppers drew motivation from working hot summers in North Carolina

Posted Jul 30, 2024
Julius Peppers remembers the long, grueling dawn-until-dusk summer days he spent working in the cotton and cucumbers fields of North Carolina’s Nash County and dealing with the heat. It wasn’t easy, spending every summer from when he was 9 years old until he graduated high school in the 90-degree conditions. But he doesn’t regret it for a minute. (Associated Press)
